*The "Jeffersonian 'wall of separation between church and state'" is not in the US Constitution at all! In fact, it was written in a letter by Jefferson ''over ten years after the First Amendment was ratified'', and furthermore, Jefferson was the least religious of all the early Presidents. Jefferson himself played no role in the formation of the Constitution. A better guiding principle is that expressed in George Washington's Farewell Address: "Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports."

**Furthermore, twelve amendments have been added to the constitution before the time of Jefferson's death, with [[James Madison]] writing the first ten and Jefferson himself writing none of them. Furthermore, the organization that makes the claim that the Constitution is vital isn't actually upholding the Constitution.
